Chapter 1 Getting Started
Before You Begin
constant attention to carpeting maintenance is acceptable, but time-
consuming.
Humidity
Maintaining the proper humidity in the room where the AC 60 system will
be located helps control many static problems. This is especially important
during the winter heating season. Follow these guidelines to maintain
proper humidity for your AC 60 system:
•
Maintain the relative humidity of the room between 40 and 60 percent.
•
To avoid damage to equipment, do not allow the humidity to increase to
the level where condensation would appear on surfaces.
Clothing
When working with the AC 60 system, avoid wearing clothing made from
wool or synthetic materials. Try to minimize contact between clothing and
electronic units.
Handling Chassis, Modules, and Components
Follow these guidelines for proper installation and handling of the AC 60
hardware to minimize ESD damage.
•
Remove the chassis, modules, and components from their shipping
containers immediately before you are ready to install them.
•
When installing modules and components, use wrist straps connected to
a common ground to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. (A
common ground is a circuit that provides a ground to the workplace,
personnel, grounding wrist straps and foot straps, and so on—a single
ground system.)
Store components in static-shielding bags when those components are not in
use.
Before You Begin
Before you start setting up, configuring, and using your new AC 60 system,
be sure you complete the following:
•
Install the AC 60 system according to directions in the user guide,
accompanying this guide (see “Related Reading” in this chapter).
•
Carefully read the safety cautions listed in the section, “Safety
Information,” at the beginning of this guide.
•
Record your site-specific specifications such as the IP addresses you will
use, and the connections and interfaces you will need. Decide which user
names and passwords you will assign.
•
Make sure you have IP connectivity to all PSAX devices to be managed.
